THE LOW DOWN: Pim Pim outs Curlbis as "john" in Stockholm

Is Ernests Gulbis one of the two ballers who was detained over the weekend for soliciting sex from prostitutes in Stockholm, Sweden?

According to HCFoo, Joachim "Pim Pim" Johansson revealed in his blog that the Latvian lad had "already acknowledged" his involvement:

Monaco found out last night that he was accused in the Argentine press of being the player who bought sex during the weekend while Gulbis already acknowledged. He will probably have a difficult time before the match on Wednesday. I'll try to take advantage of it early in the match ...

No word yet on whether Pico has been confirmed as the other baller.

I guess boys will be boys. But why pay for it? I could point out a number of DtL readers (and one blogger) who'd probably give it up to them for free. They'd just have to pay for travel, hotel and expenses. Wait - is that still considered "whorish?"

Super Mario suffers another setback, withdraws from Stockholm with illness

Thanks to an anonymous DtL reader and april for tipping me off to this truly unfortunate news concerning Mario Ancic.

The Croat, who showed us all how excited he was to be back in action in Stockholm this week, has withdrawn from the tourney with acute bronchitis with fever.

What the hell is going on with his health? This is a pretty serious issue for him, obviously, and very frustrating for the Croat. Super Mario needs to get to the bottom of these health problems because we're not just talking about a common cold or the flu even, but mono and now acute bronchitis.

Be well Mario...

PHOTO OP: Super Mario looks super excited to be hitting balls again

Mario Ancic was spotted cracking an open stance forehand while defeating Olivier Rochus 7-6 (6), 6-2 in Stockholm today.

Okay people - when I saw this photo I had to do a double...no triple take on the image. I was thinking, "Super Mario looks REALLY REALLY excited to be back after getting sick again!"

And just so you know, Mario, we are too...oy...
